Chapter 4

In the mule cart, because there were too many people, they were afraid that the little girl would be too thin to wipe it off. Wei Qingcang did not try to talk to Chen Jiao, but just looked at her silently.

In fact, Wei Qingcang has a handsome face and a starry-eyed look, and is dressed in wealthy clothes. It is easy to attract the girls when she is put in the village. Chen Jiao can fully understand that Lin Jiao would be willing to marry Wei Qingcang, but it was her turn that Wei Qingcang was more shameless, the more she felt disgusted, and she always lowered her head.

As the road was long, Wei Qingcang turned to Hongmei Niang and asked with a smile: "Where is my aunt from?"

In the cloth shop, Wei Qingcang learned the name of the little beauty and Hongmei from the humility of the three girls, and also judged that the three of them were from the same village.

Hongmei Niang was called "aunt" for the first time. She was not used to it, but she didn't hit the smiley person. In addition, she didn't want to offend a rich young man from the county town too much. Hongmei Niang looked at Chen Jiao and said lukewarmly: "Where is from Dawang Village, why did the young man come to take a mule car with a group of thick people? Are there relatives in the countryside?"

Wei Qingcang smiled and said, "I'm tired of staying in the city, so I'll just go out of the city and take a walk."

Hongmei Niang thought about it and began to inquire about Wei Qingcang's life experience.

Wei Qingcang calmly reported out of the house: "My father is the owner of Sitong Money House. I am traveling at home. My father and brother manage the business. I am naturally lazy and have not married yet. So I just took advantage of my youth to explore the scenery."

The young master of the money dealer? Hongmei Niang was a little moved for Chen Jiao with such a family background. Although Wei Qingcang was a little frivolous, if Wei Qingcang was willing to marry him with a matchmaker, Chen Jiao would be the second young lady of the Wei family. She wore gold and silver, so many girls in the village could not even look forward to good luck.

Seeing Hongmei Niang's envy, Wei Qingcang looked at his little beauty again.

Chen Jiao tilted her head in disgust and looked towards Hongmei.

The little beauty always frowned, but Wei Qingcang was not in a hurry. He didn't believe that there were people in this world who didn't love money.

Han Yue closed his eyes, as if he was dozing off.

Suddenly, the wheel of the mule cart hit something, and the body trembled and leaned towards one side.

It was just an instant unbalance, but the movement caused was quite a bit. The people in the middle of the car couldn't help but tilt down with the car body. Chen Jiao had experienced two bumps on the way to the city. She was not very afraid. At most, she had to gently hit Hongmei. But Wei Qingcang saw the opportunity and despite her tilt, she reached out to help the beauty: "Be careful, girl."

It was time for a while. Before Chen Jiao could react, Han Yue next to him suddenly took action, as if he was about to help Chen Jiao, but his strong arms happened to block Wei Qingcang's hand.

In just a short while, the car body returned to stability and Chen Jiao sat down straight.

Wei Qingcang frowned and stared at Han Yue suspiciously.

Han Yue seemed to have no idea, and didn't even look at Chen Jiao, so he took his hand back.

Chen Jiao glanced at his big hand on his knees, unable to determine whether Han Yue was deliberately helping her stop Wei Qingcang, or whether he himself had tilted it.

"This hero is so powerful. How dare you ask what kind of business you usually do?" Wei Qingcang looked up and down Han Yue and asked curiously.

Han Yue said lightly: "Farm."

Wei Qingcang smiled: "That would be a waste of money. In this way, our money house still lacks a guardhouse, and it costs three taels of wages a month. If you go far to deliver goods, you will give another silver reward that month. What does the hero think?"

Hongmei Niang widened her eyes. She earned three taels a month, and it was only 40 taels a year, which was equivalent to the annual income of ten acres of fertile land!

The other villagers on the mule cart also looked over with envy, thinking that Han Yue would definitely accept this beautiful misfortune.

Han Yue said, "Thank you for your kindness, but Han's family has a younger brother. As the eldest brother, I should not travel far away."

No matter how stupid he was, he could see that Mr. Wei was not sincere in giving him a job. He just wanted to show off his wealth in front of beautiful women and humiliate him to avenge his revenge for his plan to destroy his plan.

Wei Qingcang did think so, but unfortunately Han Yue didn't take the bait, so he had no other way.

Slowly, the mule cart stopped at the entrance of Dawang Village.

Chen Jiao’s three daughters and Han Yue got out of the car.

When Wei Qingcang saw this, he jumped down and said to Hongmei Niang naturally: "I suddenly feel thirsty. Can I go to my aunt's house to ask for a bowl of water?"

He is polite, and Hongmei Niang can only entertain her.

"Mom, you guys go home first. Jiaojiao and I will go to Xiaoyue's house to sit." Hongmei took Chen Jiao's hand and said to her mother with a smile.

Hongmei Niang led Wei Qingcang, who had turned around in one step and three times, and Han Yue had already left.

"Jiaojiao, Mr. Wei has come to our village. I think he really likes you?" Hongmei deliberately lags behind Chen Jiao a few steps, one to help her good sisters, and the other to whisper to Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao looked at Wei Qingcang's back and whispered: "I won't mention him anymore, it's impossible for me to have a relationship with him anyway."

She was determined, Hongmei shut her mouth obediently and sent Chen Jiao home from another way.

Wei Qingcang stayed at Hongmei's house for two quarters of an hour. When he left, Hongmei's mother came to Lin's house.

"Young Master Wei asks me to be a matchmaker!"

He pulled Tian to the upper room alone, Hongmei Niang looked at the west wing, congratulated Tian with a smile, and explained the Wei family's family's situation.

Tian was surprised and said nothing for a long time. He thought for a while and asked, "How can such a wealthy family look down on our village girls?"

Hongmei Niang was unhappy and said angrily: "It's fine for other girls. Our Jiaojiao is beautiful, and we can't pick a few villages around us who are better than Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao fell into the water a while ago, and her temper changed when she woke up. Qiaosheng stood there, and she looked like a lady from a family than the official lady. Young Master Wei should fall in love with Jiaojiao, otherwise she would be blind!"

Of course, Tian knew that her daughter was good, but she felt that the joy came too suddenly.

"Mr. Wei is willing, where is Mr. Wei?" Tian continued to ask.

Hongmei Niang said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Wei passed away long ago. Mr. Wei only had a few concubines in the yard. No one could take care of Mr. Wei's marriage except Mr. Wei. Moreover, Mr. Wei had long hoped that Mr. Wei would start a family and start a business soon. Jiaojiao's father was a scholar, and he was also a decent identity in the county town. Mr. Wei had no reason not to agree. Mr. Wei also said that he would go home tonight and get angry with the old man, and he would come to propose marriage in person tomorrow."

When Tian heard this, he was quite moved. His daughter was sixteen years old and was not young anymore. The Wei family was a wealthy family that his daughter had always been thinking about.

"I don't know what kind of character of Mr. Wei is." After thinking for a while, Tian whispered.

Hongmei Niang understood and nodded, "Don't worry, I will ask Hongmei's father to go to the county town again tomorrow to inquire."

Tian thanked repeatedly.

The matter has not been confirmed yet, so Tian has not mentioned this to his daughter for the time being, so he only told her husband at night.

Lin Boyuan had never seen Wei Qingcang before, and did not know Wei Qingcang's character, so he said to his wife: "I'll talk about it tomorrow if I see someone."

The couple both rested.

The next day, Hongmei's father went to the county town to find out the news. Wei Qingcang did bring a gift and was introduced to the Lin family by Hongmei's wife.

Wei Qingcang is a typical rich playboy. He has beautiful maids who have already taken the house in his family and there are also a few old lovers in the fireworks alley. If Chen Jiao is just an ordinary little girl, Wei Qingcang will find a way to get it in his hands and play with it a few times. At most, spend more money to save the aftermath when he leaves. But Chen Jiao is born with a noble demeanor, and Wei Qingcang feels that this beauty is difficult to subdue in ordinary ways, so it is better to propose marriage. Anyway, the old man in the family urges him every day, so it is time for him to get married.

Therefore, he came to the Lin family to propose marriage openly.

Lin Boyuan, Tian family, and Lin Yu were entertaining Wei Qingcang together.

Wei Qingcang has a handsome appearance, and his rich family is naturally of good demeanor. He put on a gentle young man's poem, which is quite like that.

Lin Boyuan and Tian couple were quite satisfied with this meeting.

After a while, Hongmei's father came back. A farmer, who hurried into the city and then came back in a hurry. Without any connections, what could he find out? The villagers were born with a kind of respect for wealthy families. In fact, they even believed that it was a great fortune for farmers to marry into the county town. Therefore, Hongmei's father said a lot of good things about Wei Qingcang.

Lin Boyuan was half relieved, but decided to inquire for a few more days, and he went to inquire in person.

But Tian couldn't wait to inform his daughter of the good news.

"I won't marry him." Chen Jiao said with a tense face and was not allowed to discuss it.

Tian was surprised and said strangely: "Didn't Jiaojiao always want to be a young grandma?"

Chen Jiao looked at her mother in this life, slowed down her tone and explained calmly: "He only teased me when I saw me. What he liked was nothing more than my beauty. A lustful person has a misbehavior. Besides, even if his character is fine, he doesn't like me. Mom, I can't marry someone I don't like, right?"

Tian was already confused by his daughter's unexpected response.

Chen Jiao knew that Lin Boyuan was the head of the family, so she went to find Lin Boyuan himself, and deliberately emphasized Wei Qingcang's teasing of her several times.

Lin Boyuan is a gentleman, but when he heard that Wei Qingcang was actually a playboy, he immediately turned cold.

A few days later, the Dragon Boat Festival was here, and Wei Qingcang came to Lin’s house to deliver festival gifts.

Lin Boyuan politely welcomed Wei Qingcang, but the gift was confiscated, and politely rejected Wei Qingcang's proposal.

Wei Qingcang looked puzzled and frowned and asked, "Dare you dare to ask, where did you do it badly?"

Lin Boyuan hurriedly said, "No, no, the young master is a rare son-in-law. He is just a young girl from the countryside and doesn't understand the rules. The Lin family dare not compete with each other."

Wei Qingcang pursed his lips and said goodbye and left.

In the county town, as soon as Wei Qingcang came back, he was stopped by three friends and asked him if the marriage had been facilitated.

Wei Qingcang looked calm and took a sip of wine and said, "I don't like me."

The three people at the table were silent for a moment.

Then, one of the dandy surnamed Tang said, "You don't want to behave yourself in a small farmer family. Since that's the case, why are you polite? Take out your previous skills and get the little beauty first. When the raw rice is cooked, she should cry and beg you!"

"That's right, women are the same. We should coax them before going to bed. After sleeping, she dares to throw a tantrum. Once the master leaves, she will cry to death!"

Wei Qingcang didn't say anything, and only poured wine one cup after another. He drank too much yellow soup. Thinking of Chen Jiao's white face and bulging clothes, trembling with the bumps of the mule cart, a fire suddenly broke out in his chest!
